Stories: The Neverending Tales of the Missing Boot


A strange phenomenon:

Here at Re-Use-It Centre, staff and customers alike are often perplexed by single shoes going missing. Of course, it tends to happen with particularly awesome boots, which makes us think they go missing on purpose, except for the fact that we can never find the darn things anywhere in the store!

Sitting in the office currently: half a pair of brand-new Ride Snowboard boots. We are trying to find them for a customer who'd be very excited to have them. Now, snowboard boots are not easy to hide. We checked all the usual spots, and nothing!

Sometimes customers who have fallen in love with the singular boot they've found look at us with suspicion when we attempt to explain that sometimes, "boots just go missing".

My theory is that they go to the same place socks go, but wherever they are, they're driving us all crazy!
